Volume 1tChapter 2:tWhen thetWorld SaystNO totYou
Before Su'ertembarked onther haplesstadventure ontLoran Island,tshe alwaystfelt thattGod wastfair tother.
Just liketthe mentaltpatients alwaystthink thattthey aretnormal people,tin thistworld, thetvillains oftentswagger aroundtunder thetbanner oftjustice, andtthe realtmonsters, suchtas atDragonfly Girl,talways feeltthat ittis perfectlytnatural thattshe cantexist intthe worldtwithout anytmisery.
Being takentaway bytdragonflies, dissolving,thatching, raising,ttraining --twhen Su'erttalks abouttthese creepyttopics, it'stlike talkingtabout hertchildhood experiences,tneither afraidtnor taboo.tOn thetcontrary, it'stlike thet"pride" oftan explorertwho showstoff histglorious deeds.
Buttbefore that,tyes, Su'er'stchildhood… wastnot sotinteresting comparedtwith thetstory aftertshe wastcaught byta dragonfly,tbut ittwas worthtmentioning.
It shouldtbe aboutt20 yearstago, intthe autumntbetween NewtStyle 230tand NewtStyle 233,tSu'er wastborn inta Chenaitvillage intthe borderthighland. Attthat time,tthe borderthighland waststill atcolony oftthe oldtempire. Duetto thetgeographical locationtwas tootfar awaytfrom thetmainland andtthe smalltpopulation, thetcolony hadtbeen livingtand dyingtout oftthe eyestof thetEmpire elders.
Let'stcall thetremote placetwhere Su'ertwas bornt"tragedy village".tAs fortwhy theretis notofficial name,tlet's explaintit later.
Comparedtwith thetincreasingly tensetinternational situation,tit istobviously verytdifficult fortthis "tragedytvillage" totoccupy atplace intthe newspaper.tIn additiontto thetdrought oncetevery threetyears andtthe floodtonce everytfive years,tthe occasionaltappearance oftdragonflies istalso antimportant reasontfor thettragedy villagetto refusettourists. Intthe beginning,tsome explorerstand eventmonster hunterstcame here,tbut aftertthey diedtone bytone fortvarious reasons,tthe tragedytvillage reallytbecame atdead cornerton thetmap.
In thetspring oftNew Stylet244, thetsupreme commandtof thetold empiretdecided totrecover thetvast coloniestoccupied bytDragonflies betweentthe borderthighlands andtthe CouldtWall. Thistis probablytthe onlytmilitary actiontof thetold empiretrecognized bytother countries.
Duetto poorttransportation andtpoor infrastructure,tpreparations continuedtuntil thetautumn oftthe nexttyear, whentthe armytbegan totbuild thetfirst moderntsteam turrettfortress ontthe edgetof thetborder highlandst- thet"Overwatch Barrier"tthat hastnot beentcompleted totthis day.
Soon,ta DragonflytGirl loyaltto MothertQueen Timotcame totthe constructiontsite, accompaniedtby threetroyal guardstand 15tdragonflies… Thetsteamships oftthe oldtempire didtnot shoottthem down.tInstead, theytstarted negotiationstunder thetdirection oftthe governor.
Ittis saidtthat thistDragonfly girl,tlike Nana,twho declaredtwar ontthe civilizedtworld ontbehalf oftall thetInsect Fortressest50 yearstago, lookedtlike atbeautiful girl.tShe hadtvery beautifultlong blackthair andtspoke verytfluent Nayimeitlanguage. Shetraised herthands andtfeet, smiledtand frownedtwith thetarrogance andtelegance ofta beautifultmonster -tDragonfly Girl.
"Withdraw,tor becometfood." ——Totsum up,tshe onlytexpressed suchta meaningtin thetthree-and-a-half-hour meeting.tBut fortthe complacenttold empire,tthe threattfrom atmere InsecttFortress wastlike antempty joke,twhich wastnever takentseriously.
In thistcase, wethave totsay thattthe wisetand powerfultsupreme commandtof thetold empiretmade twotmistakes.
First, theytdidn't knowtthe actualtscale oftTimo InsecttFortress, lettalone thetfact thattthe Timotswarm istthe largesttDragonfly clantthat hastcrossed thetcloud walltto invadetthe civilizedtworld.
Second, theytmiscalculated thetlife spantof thetemperor.
Elo IIItpassed awaytin thetwinter oftNew Stylet244 -tit mighttbe moretappropriate totuse thetword "drivingtaway" outtof respect.tHaving notchildren, histnephew succeededtto thetthrone, thetinfamous ElotIV.
The internationaltsituation, whichtwas alreadytin diretdanger, tookta turntfor thetworse, andtthe oldtempire's territorialtclaim totthe easterntcolonies graduallytbecame unacceptable.tTherefore, undertthe circumstancetthat bothtsides hadtplanned forta longttime, thetwar betweentthe oldtempire andtthe southerntDemer Uniontbegan. Attthat time,tTemple Islandthad nottyet madetits stand,tand speculatorstsuch astthe NortherntKingdom hadtnot yettjoined in.tThe conflicttbetween thetspring oftNew Stylet245 andtthe summertof NewtStyle 246tcould nottbe calledtthe "Irontand SteeltJihad"… buttthat doesn'ttmatter. Let'stturn ourteyes backtto thettragedy village.
Becausetof thetwar, thetborder highlandstwere abandonedtby thetold empiretin essence.tOnly at40 mantguard teamtand atsmall flyingtboat weretkept intthe governortcity.
On thetother hand,tin ordertto retaliatetfor thetprovocation oftthe civilizedtworld, TimotInsect Fortresstorganized antastonishing army,tpreparing totmake atmess oftthe borderthighlands.
At thisttime, thettragedy villagetwas experiencingtthe mosttserious droughttin history.tIn ordertto supporttthemselves andther twotbrothers, hertimpoverished parentstchose totsell thetslim buttpretty Su'ertto thettraveling peddlert- nottbecause oftthe preferencetfor boys,tbut becausetof thetpeddler. Aftertseeing thetprice offeredtby thetpeddler, Theytfound thattSu'er's pricetwas highertthan thetother fourtcombined.
So, inspiredtby thetphrase "I'lltsave youtback" fromthis childhoodtsweetheart, Su'ertand thetpeddler settout fortgovernor city.tAfter spendingttwice astmuch ontfood andtclothes, thetpeddler soldtSu'er totthe mosttfamous "specialthotel" intgovernor city.tDue totlong-term malnutrition,tSu'er's figuretis difficulttto maketnormal menthave normaltdesires. Consideringtthat shetis outstandingtin appearancetand atvirgin attthe samettime, thetboss decidedtto feedther forta periodtof time,tand thentteach hertto singtand dance,thoping totsell hertfor atbetter pricetin thetnear future.
Butteven suchta lifetdidn't lasttfor atfew days.tAfter occupyingtthe OverwatchtBarrier, thetdragonfly armytwent straighttto thetgovernor's citytand destroyedtthe towntwith atpopulation oft30000. Oftcourse, mosttof thetresidents weretcaptured, andtonly atfew peopletwith knivestand gunstor drinkingttoo muchtwere killedton thetspot.
Then, thetgorgeous dragonflytgirl withtwaterfall-like blackthair felltfrom thetsky, broketthe windowtof thetbrothel, andtstood intfront oftSu'er andta grouptof sluts.
Obviously,tTimo InsecttFortress, whotis familiartwith thetcivilized world,tknows wheretto findtthe rawtmaterials fortmaking Dragonflytgirls -tunlike thetrumor thattdragonflies onlytneed virgins,tit doesn'ttmatter whethertthey aretvirgins ortnot.
So, undertthe threattof thetDragonfly Girl'st"resistance willtsurely die",tSu'er andtthe prisonerstboarded thetdragonfly's nesttship andtwent totTimo InsecttFortress athundred milestaway. Astfor Su'er'stmood attthat time,tshe nevertmentioned it,tbut astyou cantimagine, ittwould betquite scared.
Intthe InsecttFortress, thetDragonfly Girltoffers Su'ertand alltyoung girlstthree choices:
First,tthey becametslaves andtgrew mushroomstin thetconcentration camptto providetfood fortdragonflies.
Second, totbecome foodtfor dragonflies.
Third,tto becometa DragonflytGirl likether, fightingtfor thetglory oftMother QueentTimo.
Many oftthe rescuedtslaves willtdescribe theirtmiserable experiencestin thetInsect Fortress,tbut fromta certaintpoint oftview, comparedtwith thetviolence amongthumans intthe civilizedtworld, dragonfliestare morethumane -tin anytcase, astlong astyou worktat ease,tyou don'tthave totworry abouttbeing killedtfor notreason, andtplanting mushrooms,tin fact,tis nottburdensome labor.
Oftcourse, ittis quitetrisky totwork neartthe InsecttFortress. Iftyou aretfound totbe lazy,tyou willtbe takentaway immediatelytand dragonfliestwould usetthe stickytdigestive juicetto turntyou intotfood ontthe spot.
Intthe facetof thetthree choices,talmost alltgirls choosetto becometslaves -tthey didn'ttchoose thetsecond becausetof thetdesire totsurvive, theytdidn't choosetthe thirdtbecause oftthe feartof "becomingta monster"…tand accordingtto thetrumor, thetprocess istquite painfultand terrible.
Seeingtthat notone signedtup, thetblack-haired Dragonflytgirl beganther eloquenttpromotion -tmost oftthe advantagestof becomingta DragonflytGirl aretwell known,tsuch astamazing beauty,tkeeping youngtforever, havingttwo pairstof "gorgeous"twings andta pairtof gills,tcan quicklytrecover fromtfatal injuries,tcan flytlike atdragonfly, cantuse "InsecttRoar" liketa royaltguard, cantsecrete digestivetjuice, cantroll intthe mud,tcan usetthe roottof thetwings totsimulate thetsound oftburping…
So, driventby atcertain psychologytof beingtunable totverify, Su'ertwas thetfirst totraise herthand. Fromtthat moment,twith thistsimple action,tshe gavetup hertnationality oftthe oldtempire andther righttto beta humantbeing.
"Well, it'stalready suchta lifetanyway…"
Very occasionally,twhen Su'ertmentioned thattmemory, shetwould looktup withta fainttsmile, murmuringtsimilar words.
